was one of the three main kabuki theatres of Edo alongside the Morita-za and Ichimura-za.
It was founded in 1624 by Nakamura Kanzaburà  1st. The Nakamura-za relocated to the new capital Tokyo in 1868 and reopened under Nakamura Kanzaburà  I's last direct descendant Nakamura Kanzaburo XIII (1828âÂÂ1895) as zamoto. It was later also called the Miyako-za ().
A real-size replica of the Nakamura-za is located at the Edo-Tokyo Museum.
